Mr. Ankush Nijhawan, Co-founder and Joint MD, TBO Tek Limited said, “We are pleased to have a robust second quarter. We have already seen significant growth in our hotel and non-air businesses. Our strategic focus on hotel business has allowed us to capture a larger share of the overall travel market, positioning us for continued growth. Increasing demand for outbound travel from India will continue to provide significant tailwinds for the business going forward.”
